What an end to the week we have had. It was such a great event and so nice to all be together after such a long time apart. I hope you enjoyed the afternoon and seeing your children singing so well.
I hope you all have a fantastic break and we look forward to seeing you all again on Tuesday 7th June.
This week we continue with our ' Around the Word' topic. Henry brought pictures from America where he could see crocodiles and an enormous Hulk made of lego. We learnt about Enzo's family and looked at the village where Enzo's Papi lives in Italy and the village where his nana is from in Cyprus. Mrs Sheehan has told the children the legend of Poland and has begun to teach them 'The Wheels on the bus' in Polish. It is great to see the children developing their knowledge and curiosity about the World and we look forward to seeing more photos and hearing interesting stories from all our children.
The children have been checking on our mini garden where we are growing plants and some vegetables. They are understanding the importance of looking after them and watering them daily. We will observe and monitor their growth and discuss the changes taking place.
Next week we are holding a Platinum Jubilee Celebration afternoon on Friday, 27th May for parents. The event will start at 2.00pm and will take place on the school grounds. All the classes will be performing a song from every decade that the queen has been on the throne. Children will be sat in class groupings but parents will be allowed to sit with their children as long as the class teachers know that you have your child. On the day the children should come to school dressed in red, white and blue, refreshments will be for sale during the afternoon. As the event is taking place outside it will be weather dependent. Fingers crossed though that it will be able to go ahead and help give us a rousing send off into the half-term break. If you would like to make a donation towards the refreshments, please send your donations in from Thursday 26th May. Please label any boxes you would like returned to you.
Another great week of learning in Foundation. We have continued playing board games with the children, introducing new ideas and mixing groups together. We have consolidated their ability to communicate and turn take which is working well. Hopefully this will work in other areas of learning and support their communication and language development along with their personal, social and emotional skills.
Hello everyone,
This week in Nursery we have been playing different games and discussed the importance of learning the rules while playing a game. The children especially enjoyed playing Double, Snakes and Ladders, Connect Four and Hopscotch. There are so many benefits of taking part in a game, amongst others, games teach children to follow instructions, build communication skills, help children learn to fail and encourage healthy competition.
From next week we will be looking at a map of the world and we will discuss different locations which are familiar to us. It might be a place where our relatives come from or which we have visited during a holiday. It would be great if the children could bring a photograph to school of the place they want to show and tell us a short story related to the picture. Next week Ms Ricky will tell us about Trinidad and Tobago.
Please make sure your child has sun cream and a sun hat on next week as it is going to be hot.
